The mystaran dragonfly can disengage or dash as a bonus action when flying. It cannot use Darting Flight if it used Dodging Flight after the start of its previous turn.ReactionsDodging Flight. If a creature of at least Small size attempts a melee attack against a mystaran dragonfly, or the dragonfly is targeted by a ranged weapon of similar size such as a giant-hurled boulder, the dragonfly can try to dodge out of the way as a reaction. The mystaran dragonfly makes a Dexterity saving throw with advantage (it loses this advantage when mounted or grappling an opponent). If the saving throw beats the attack roll or DC of the attack the mystaran dragonfly takes no damage and flies up to 30 feet. If a mystaran dragonfly is carrying or grappling a creature that is too heavy for the dragonfly to fly with, it must release the creature to use Dodging Flight. If the dragonfly is grappling a creature light enough to carry through the air, the grappled creature can make an escape check as a free action. If it fails, the dragonfly may fly away with its victim.DescriptionA mystaran dragonfly closely resembles a regular dragonfly about 3 to 4 feet long. Its head has subtle draconic features as well as a huge pair of globular multifaceted eyes. Mystaran dragonflies are swift and agile flyers with chitinous exoskeletons almost as tough as dragon scales. There are six known types, in order of size and power these are <a href="https://www.enworld.org/posts/9264184" target="_blank">white</a>, <a href="https://www.enworld.org/posts/9264177" target="_blank">black</a>, <a href="https://www.enworld.org/posts/9264182" target="_blank">green</a>, <a href="https://www.enworld.org/posts/9264180" target="_blank">blue</a>, <a href="https://www.enworld.org/posts/9264183" target="_blank">red</a>, and <a href="https://www.enworld.org/posts/9264906" target="_blank">gold</a>. They possess weak breath weapons that do damage corresponding to their dragon variety: cold for a white dragonfly, fire and poison for a gold dragonfly, et cetera. Gold mystaran dragonflies are the rarest of all varieties, but paradoxically have the widest range. Their favorite habitat is tropical forests and hills, but gold dragonflies can live in the habitat of any other mystaran dragonfly, from icy tundra to searing desert. See the <a href="https://www.enworld.org/posts/9264177" target="_blank">Mystaran Black Dragonfly</a> entry for more information on these monsters.(Monster designed by Casimir Liber and Cleon on Enworld.org's General Monster Talk Creature Catalog Forum; based on the Basic/Expert D&D Dragonfly that first appeared in Dungeon Magazine #6 (July/August 1987) in the adventure "The Tortles of the Purple Sage—Part 1" by Merle and Jackie Rasmussen.)</blockquote>
